Cloud Hosting Description

In general, the real cloud hosting solution serves various hosting services such as disk storage, email, FTP, databases, DNS, statistics, web hosting CP, backup, and so on, on independent sets of top-notch servers. Each single service group generates a cluster. All the servers in a cluster are devoted to serving exclusively the given service and nothing else. They will all perform as one web server, sharing out the service's load in nearly equipollent proportions. If there is a genuine cloud hosting service, there has to be: a web space cluster, a mail cluster, a File Transfer Protocol cluster, database clusters (MySQL/PostgreSQL), a DNS cluster, a stats cluster, a website hosting Control Panel cluster, a backup cluster, and so on. All these different service clusters will construct the so-called cloud website hosting system.

The immense cloud website hosting fraud. Very widespread at present.

There is so much confusion going around about cloud hosting these days. As you can see, cloud hosting does not only seem complicated, but actually it is very perplexing. Most of the people are not at all aware of what cloud hosting is. On the basis of this universal ignorance, the "cloud web hosting traders" speculate intensely, just to get hold of the client and his/her five dollars per month. What a shame! A big disgrace. This is due to the fact that in the web hosting business there are no stipulations at all. The domain name industry has ICANN. The hosting industry niche has no such supervising institution. This is why the web hosting companies speculate and tell lies blatantly (quite directly, in fact) to their clients. Notably the cPanel-based cloud web hosting providers. Let's discover how much cloud hosting they in fact can deliver.

The facts about the cPanel-based "cloud" website hosting traders

If a cPanel-based hosting company has a cloud web hosting platform at hand, which is very unlikely, many web hosting servers have to be paid for. Which is also not cheap. We will return to that towards the end of this story. First off, let's examine what the cloud complications are. So, it's very unlikely for a cPanel web hosting distributor to have the cloud web hosting system at hand, because inventing one demands years. Even when time and the provision of a professional team are not a predicament, lots of money has to be spent too. Piles of money. Furthermore, cPanel is not open source. That's an immense predicament.

The lack of open source cloud hosting platforms

There aren't any open source cloud website hosting platforms. There aren't any open source web hosting Control Panel instruments (operating with the cloud web hosting solution) as well. So, to have a cloud hosting solution at hand, first of all you have to build one. In-house. Second of all, you have to build the hosting Control Panel as well.

Single server-based web hosting Control Panels

Contemporary web hosting CPs such as cPanel, Plesk, DirectAdmin, etc. are built to function on one single server only. All website hosting services (disk space, mail, File Transfer Protocol, databases, DNS, statistics, website hosting Control Panel, backup, and so on) are being served at the same time on one server where these specific single-server web hosting platforms and website hosting CPs are set up.

The absence of open source web hosting CPs

So, you have to construct a custom CP that will perform unproblematically and to integrate it within the cloud platform, as if it was an inbuilt component of it. Good examples of in-house constructed cloud hosting solutions with in-house invented website hosting CPs besides us, at Besafe1st Hosting, are MediaTemple and FreeHostia.

Cloud hosting hardware equipment prices

The smallest contribution needed, just for the cloud hosting hardware equipment, amounts to somewhere between sixty thousand dollars and 80 thousand dollars. That's omitting the DDoS device, which is another 15-20,000 USD. Now you realize how many cloud hosting platforms can be encountered out there... and, in particular, why the hosting sky is so blue... and virtually cloudless!
